Bayern Munich CEO Says Bundesliga Should Return Due to 'TV Payments'

Bayern Munich CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge suggested that Bundesliga should continue to hold games despite the coronavirus outbreak and cited the "outstanding big TV payments," made to the league's teams.

"At the end of the day, it's about finances and the big outstanding TV payments to the clubs," Rummenigge said, according to German broadcasting network DW Sports. "I think it's right that under the current conditions, the games this weekend take place."

Bundesliga is currently slated to host games this weekend without fans in the league's respective stadiums. Games will begin to be postponed on Monday.
